I think with the money I save I am going to take a few makeup classes at KRYOLAN, they are starting up again for the year and they look interesting. Instead of buying makeup I will learn different ways to use it! :-)<br /><br /><b>Purchase Total: $0</b><br /><br /><b>Money in Makeup Bank before purchases: $0</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Money after purchases: $0</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Week 1 Goals</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Goal 1: Winter cleaning</b>. &nbsp;I cleaned out A LOT.

Last year it was a 100 day no/low-buy, This year I am going to extend it, around June I will see where I am with it and possibly take it further, depending on how much I have saved. I had a specific goal in mind as far as what I was saving towards last year, this year I don't have a huge goal per say, one may come up during it, so I'll see! I would love to save up for some really nice brushes.</span></div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Project No-Buy Goals</span></b><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Instead of a traditional no-buy, I'm still following the project created last year by <a href="http://www.darksideofbeauty.com/">Darkside of Beauty</a>&nbsp;to 1) finish makeup I currently own, 2) not horde so much new makeup, 3) to keep up with my 2014 resolutions and 4) save money for something else. I will be updating this project every Sunday. If you are curious about the No-Buy project or if you also want to be part of it, keep reading!</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rules</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">As of January 6th, 2014 I will not be allowed to buy any beauty related products, unless...</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. the product is an absolute essential (shampoo/conditioner, cleanser, deodorant...etc.) and I have run out.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. I run out of a product and I have nothing else to replace it (ex: I run out of my current eyeshadow primer and I have no other primers in my collection)</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. I receive a gift card, money or am gifted makeup and therefore am not spending any of my own money on it.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Monthly subscriptions and a cpuple products I have been waiting to get before this year- Sugarpill Sparkle Baby palette and BFTE Steampunk collection. Getting these I hope will deter me from buying other things also.</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">5. If I am in a place that I usually never go and has products that I am otherwise never able to get (ex: if i am traveling to another country or go to a store that is not available close to me).</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">6. They are giveaway prizes or gifts!</span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">*Remember that I have tons of products that I purchased before now that I have yet to show on my blog! Keep that in mind with any upcoming posts! I will be honest with all of you on this project; I gain nothing from lying to you guys! This also gives a a chance to talk about some of my favorite permanent products and re-discover lots of items!</span><br /><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although I am calling this a "No-Buy", I am making some exceptions for myself. These are rewards for myself for 1) following the no-buy, 2)following weekly goals, and 3) sticking to my 2014 resolutions.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">1.&nbsp;<b>Weekly Goals</b>. Every week (on Sunday) I will set two goals for myself. Each of these goals should be met by the end of the week. If the goal is met, I will award myself $5 of allowance for makeup (therefore, I have a possibility of earning $10 per week). If I do not met either of them, then I get $0 of spending money.&nbsp;</span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">2.&nbsp;<b>Blogging and Writing</b>. One of my goals(again) this year is to write more consistently, which also includes my blogging. I started this blog for many reasons, I love beauty products, for one but I also love fashion, art, photography, writing, etc. I consider all of these things as part of beauty, not just how we look but who we are inside. I want to push myself to do more. So for every blog post I will award myself $4. For other writing(essay, poem, story, etc) I will award myself $1 a page, so if I write a 3 page essay I will get $3, a poem, $1 and so on.&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">3.&nbsp;<b>Art</b>. This may sound like an odd goal, but art used to be a huge part of my life, &nbsp; and it's slowly taken a back seat to so many things. I really slacked on it last year, so this year I am going to try again! Painting, drawing, photography, sewing are all things I used to do consistently. So for every piece I do, or if I create something I will award myself $5.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">5.&nbsp;<b>Reading.</b>&nbsp;I love to read but tend to do it in "spurts," meaning I will read voraciously for a week or two, a ton of books and then go back to nothing. I would like to be more consistent, because I love reading, I just tend to get side tracked. I did really well for most of last year then I didn't read much the last 3 months. So for anything under 200 pages, $4, between 200-500, $5 and over 500 pages, $8.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">6.&nbsp;<b>Empties and De-stash</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is great to finish a product, especially products you don't particularly care for that are just taking up space. Therefore, for any empty product I have, I will award myself $2 of makeup allowance. It's also a good idea to get rid of items that you don't use/just didn't work for you. De-stashing and selling them is a great way to earn back some of that money you spent, and put it towards something you will use, so any money I earn from de-stashing can go towards my makeup fund.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">7.&nbsp;<b>Self-Control.</b>&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is not really a reward, but a punishment. If I don't follow my no-buy, then I will get negative cash for whatever amount I spent. For example, if I buy a $10 product when I have no reward allowance to spend, then I will subtract double the amount I spent on my total reward allowance, in this case being -$20. This means my allowance will be in a negative number and I will have to work even harder to have money to spend on makeup the following weeks.</span></div></div><div></div><br /><div style="orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; widows: auto;"><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During the week's update on Sunday, I will let you know whether I have kept up with my No-buy for that week, show you products I've used up, and update you and show you if I have earned any money through the rewards system. If, for example, I meet both of my weekly goals for that week ($10), perhaps read a 300 page novel ($4), and blogged three times that week($6), then that means I earned $2 worth of makeup allowance that week. Then that means that starting Monday after the update, I can buy makeup with my $20 allowance.Any makeup I buy using this allowance will be shown during that week's update.&nbsp;</span></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The reward money does carry over to the weeks following if I do not spend it. So If I had $20 and only spent $10 that week, then I will have $10 left over. Then I can add onto that any new allowance I get from the following weeks. I am going to call this my Make-Up Account since it is essentially the money I have to buy makeup. None of my other money will go into makeup/beauty products. This will help me save up for collections I am waiting for, and hopefully help me plan what I purchase better, instead of automatically buying what I see. For instance, I know I am really going to want some of the items from the MAC Maleficent collection coming out, I know it's going to take a few weeks of saving for it, so before I go out and spend say the $20 I earned over two weeks on something I don't need, I'll be more inclined to stop myself from purchasing it, knowing I really want that palette when it comes out so I better not spend what's in my makeup account. :-) I think it actually helps to see the value of a dollar this way.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a bit confusing, but basically what I am trying to do is to control the amount of makeup I buy, not completely stop it. Not only can I more efficiently control the amount of makeup I buy, but I can also become a more knowledgeable person when it comes to my own finances, wise purchasing and researching a product.</span></div></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></div><div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have any questions or want any clarifications please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.</span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Weekly Goals for 1/8:</span></b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"></div><ol><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Winter cleaning. </b>I need to go through my shelvings of stuff and finally get rid and donate things I don't use, including books, art supplies, etc. (I'll try to take pics so I can share just how much it was needed!)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>De-stash. </b>Beginning of the new year and it's time to go through and throw out old makeup and sell/swap stuff I don't use.

The second half of the year was so busy I pretty much fell of the face of the blogging/internet planet. My goals for 2014 is to try to start again, with a little more motivation and a fresh outlook, we'll see what happens!<br /><br />A little list to start off slowly...<br /><br /><br /><ul><li>Low-buy 2014! Yes, &nbsp;it is time once again for me to pull in the reigns and stop the excess buying that seemed to have taken over the last half of 2013. Buy less and shop my stash. I am not going to delude myself into thinking I can buy nothing, but I am going to try to return to the guidelines I followed at the beginning of last year. I will blog my adventure so everyone can follow along...and join in if you like!</li><li>More posts! I have joined a group of like-minded ladies and hopefully they will give me the little extra motivation to post consistently.</li><ul><li>Along with that, posts to look forward to in the next few days:</li><ul><li>Low-buy 2014&nbsp;</li><li>Favorites of 2013</li><li>Top 3 products(Collab)</li><li>De-stash/Blog sale</li><li>And more!</li></ul></ul></ul><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-64840082686676108992013-11-26T21:26:00.000-08:002013-11-28T05:00:20.208-08:00Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales!<h2 style="text-align: center;">Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales!</h2><div class="post-header" style="background-color: #fffee4; color: #987654; font-family: Arvo; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><div class="post-header-line-1"></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-5596700001063499936" itemprop="description articleBody" style="color: #640032; font-family: Arvo; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 628px;"><div class="p1">Hi guys!

I'm pretty proud of myself because I really wasn't sure I was going to be able to do it. I learned a few things about myself in the process also.<br /><br />1. I have a tendency to go crazy when I see the word <b>SALE</b> connected to indie cosmetics companies.<br />2. I see the words LIMITED EDITION (LE) and freak out and must purchase everything.<br />3. I impulse buy, especially at the drugstore, if I take the time to stop and think about a purchase I am much more likely to not go through with it.<br />4. If I see it for cheaper on e-bay/trade groups I'll buy it thinking I got a good deal.<br /><br />I think the idea of rewards/allowance is a good idea. For me it encouraged me to do more of things I already enjoy but put off for one reason or another. It got me to start doing more, I still didn't work quite as hard as I think I should(but I'm like that haha) but it's got me thinking and building up to where I want to be. I think I may continue the idea, maybe alter it a bit more, but it's helped me from impulse buying and looking through things to see if I have something comparable before I buy. However, I am giving myself a pass in June, vacations!!<br /><br />I did buy a couple things this week too, the new Milani shadow eyes pencils and a couple shadows from Shiro Cosmetics.<br /><br /><b>Purchase Total: $35 + $25.45 = $60.45</b><br /><br /><b>Money in Makeup Bank before purchases: $70.33-$60.45 = 9.88</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Money after purchases: $9.88</b><br /><b><br /></b>Over the last 15 weeks I spent $203.62 on cosmetics, when I add it up it seems like A LOT. However, I know in the past I could easily drop $100 in one purchase at Sephora...hell during winter sales I could spend the entire $200 at once(yes this is embarrassing to admit). So, I am sort of proud that I decreased my spending by a lot. I think if I stop buying every time I see an indie company have a sale, my impulse purchases of $15 here and $20 there will help a lot. It seems like such a small amount when it's only 10 bucks here and there but when you add it up ad the end of the month it's quite a chunk of change. No wonder my savings account is growing!<br /><br />I highly recommend trying a no-buy or an altered no-buy/low-buy. It really helps!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-85191240019376133042013-05-30T00:16:00.003-07:002013-06-02T01:07:23.605-07:00Project No-Buy Week Fourteen<br /><b>Week 14 (May 13-May 19)</b><br /><br />Well, not much to say this week, as I hardly did much of anything the last 3 days of the week but lay in bed. Ah the joys of being sick. I felt so bad I didn't even want to read or watch tv, just sleep. I guess that's one way to keep yourself from buying makeup! ;-)<br /><br />I can't believe next week is the last week! Technically 100 days is on Tuesday but I'll just try and finish out the week. Let's hope I don't go crazy come the weekend! I will also do a re-cap of the 15 weeks/100 days.<br /><br /><b>Purchase Total: $0</b><br /><br /><b>Money in Makeup Bank before purchases: $60.33</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Money after purchases: $60.33</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Week 14 Goals</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Goal 1: </b>Upload all of the photos from the wedding shower and open a group for everyone to share their pictures. <b>*COMPLETED* +$5</b><br /><br /><b>Goal 2: </b>Transfer files from my old laptop onto my portable hard drive.

I took pictures at my Mom's best friend's(basically my auntie) wedding shower. Her first marriage!! She so deserves happiness. It turned out really great, I had a lot of fun taking pictures, I finally picked up a 50mm lens for my Nikon and I don't think I'll ever take it off again! Well, I probably will, but I really love it, it's the exact kind of lens I have been wanting and I finally don't hate my camera, haha, seriously, my dslr and I have a love-hate relationship. All I need now is a tripod and I'll be set...and maybe a 35mm lens. ;-) I did some nice makeup for the party but as soon as I went outside my eyes just started crying, allergies. All week, every time I went outside my allergies just kicked up. I finally went to the doctor and she prescribed some allergy medication, I really hope it helps or I am never going to be able to put on eye makeup this spring or summer! Everyone I run into seems to be having the same allergy issues this year, they are so bad. I also finally started getting into airbrush foundation, I've had my machine forever but I don't ever allow myself time to learn it properly, but now I am. As far as purchases I got the new MAC blush in Ripe for Love and the Pro-longwear bronzer from the new summer collection. I have never ever used bronzer, it scares me frankly, I am so pale, but I have heard good things about the pro-longwear one so I thought why not try it for summer! And I love peachy-coral blushes, they are my weakness. *sigh* I also picked up the other LE Stila Smudgestick in Periwinkle, I love the unusual colors this spring. I am still on the lookout for a really good mint green shadow though. I guess I have blabbed on enough here...only two weeks left of my no-buy. I may continue it just another week or two after since I am leaving for NYC on the 12th and plan on doing some serious shopping! Plus I am 90% sure I will be going to PHAMEXPO in Southern California at the end of June, I really want to save up a bit. But there are just a feeew indie shadows I want to pick up, so we'll see how good I can really be!<br /><br /><b>Purchase Total: $9 + $57.77</b><br /><br /><br /><b>Money in Makeup Bank before purchases: $100.10</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Money after purchases: $33.33</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Week 13 Goals</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Goal 1:</b>&nbsp;Practice with my airbrush machine. *COMPLETED* I finally broke it out and am teaching myself.<b>&nbsp;</b><b>+$5</b><br /><br /><b>Goal 2:</b>&nbsp;Clean my makeup brushes. *COMPLETED* All 1000 of them...ok maybe not that many, but it sure feels like it sometimes.

I am liking this challenge because it is getting me to think and write again. I also started my personal blog because posting all these non-makeup entires on here seemed off...and I have been meaning to start one, so this figured like an appropriate time.

I haven't transferred much on here. There is this one picture though, I took of with my camera phone. My grandma was going through mountains of pictures and gave me a pile of ones of myself and family from long ago. I think I was maybe 3 or 4 here and my grandpa was teaching me how to play chess. Growing up my grandpa and I always played games, lots of different ones, ones like chess and ones we made up, intricate ones that could last all day. We played the silent game, we could go HOURS playing the silent game, we even managed an entire day in NYC and a NYV cab ride in complete silence, my grandma had to write the cab driver a note on where to take us, even the cabbie thought we couldn't understand him! Chess, though, chess taught me how to think, even at 3 years old my grandpa thought I was smart and he always challenged me to be the best I could, and to think things through, make wise decisions and to be creative. I loved spending time with my grandpa. I still do, the furniture has changed but we still sit in the same spot at the dinner table and talk.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Do you have a favorite photo of yourself?</div><br /><center><a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html"><img border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m553/jennilu07/May200x200_zpsf8349f10.png" /></a></center>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-12226500772528765432013-05-16T01:08:00.000-07:002013-05-17T16:51:50.404-07:00Blog Every Day in May: Day 14<center style="text-align: left;">Ten things that make you really happy.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">This is actually harder than it sounds....</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">1.

A person, place, or thing, a time in your life...<br /><br />I know we can't go back in time, and I know most of the time I certainly wouldn't want to, but, if I could go back and spend maybe just one day at the end of 1999/2000 that's the time I would chose, that's a time in my life I miss the most. Being 19 or 20 years old, life stretched out ahead, anything being possible. Looking back it was one of the most carefree life changing times of my life. I had the energy to stay out all night, all weekend and go to class the next day. My best friend was just a phone call away. The week was all about getting to the weekend and having fun. Dancing all night long until the sun came up in the morning. Ever seen the movie Groove? Yeah that about sums up my life from age 19-24, chasing the beat and the thump of the underground sounds of the late 90's and early 00's SF party scene. Now, if someone today posted a picture of me back then I would swear up and down it wasn't me and find a way to take it down as quickly as possible, but I can't deny part of me misses the &nbsp;carefree, self-indulgent, spontaneous me of yester-year. Jumping in the car on a friday night and coming home on a sunday afternoon, driving the coast from city to city, hitting the massive parties and the tiny undergrounds. Climbing down sandy hills to wide open beaches or up into the mountains where all you can see is stars and tree tops, music flowing out of a deck and a couple speakers. There's nothing like the feeling of meeting someone new, someone you may never see again and bonding over the music and dancing all night long. Hell, thinking about it now just makes me tired, makes me wonder just how blissfully unaware I was about the "real" world back then. But if I could, go back, just for a day, unaware that life gets harder, different, more complicated, sure why the hell not. I wouldn't mind making just one more memory. I am proud of where I am now, the adult I have become, I wouldn't(hell, I <i>couldn't</i>) change anything but that's not to say once in a while I don't miss the "good ole days."<br /><br />Awe hell, I just made myself old.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html"><img border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m553/jennilu07/May200x200_zpsf8349f10.png" /></a></center>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-84626807989348055622013-05-12T23:45:00.001-07:002013-05-13T01:31:15.376-07:00Project No Buy: Week 12<br /><b>Week 11 (May 6-May 12)</b><br /><br />This week went by fast, I didn't do much in the way of makeup. I was feeling a bit ill with my allergies and I am not sure if I was coming down with something, or had a mild cold or something but my whole body just hurt and I didn't want to do much but sleep. I found the last color tattoo that I had wanted Seashore Frost at my local CVS, who knew the closest one to me would finally have a full display? I also picked up a Stila Smudge Stick in the LE color Turquoise(I think?), I really wanted that one and Periwinkle, Turquoise was sold out though, but I found it on Ebay and I got it in the mail Friday, I love it, the color is so pretty. That's it for my purchases. As the weeks go by and there are only three left now I looked back on how much I have spent so far, I added up from week one and I've spent $138.85 in eleven weeks, now this does seem like a lot, but I admit (embarrassingly) I could easily spend that in one month before I started this no/low buy. I am really learning a lot, and while I know myself and I know I won't be <i><b>that</b></i> good when it ends, I think I am going to make sure I am much better and be thinking purchases more thoroughly.<br /><br /><b>Purchase Total: $9 + $7.49 = $16.49</b><br /><br /><br /><b>Money in Makeup Bank before purchases: $81.06</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Money after purchases: $64.57</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Week 13 Goals</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Goal 1:</b>&nbsp;Do one contest look, one face of the day and one review. *FAILED*<b>&nbsp;</b>I &nbsp;hardly wore makeup at all this week actually, between allergies and feeling ill I wasn't much up to it.<b>&nbsp;</b><b>+$0</b><br /><br /><b>Goal 2:</b>&nbsp;Finished up paperwork.&nbsp;<b>+$5</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Goal 3: </b>Practice with my airbrush machine. *FAILED* I knew it would be a stretch but I am going to do it this week.<b> +$0</b><br /><br /><b>Writing/Blogging.</b>&nbsp;Seven blog every day in May posts.

Spill.</center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center style="text-align: left;">I am sure that I have had many, many embarrassing moments, but I can't think of a darned one of them. It could be because as of late I don't do a ton of things in public settings. Or perhaps because I don't do much without people close to me anymore. There was a time when I could fill up a novel with embarrassing moments, or things I have said, but I can't think of any at the moment. When I do I will return to this question....</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">WAIT!! STOP! HALT!&nbsp;</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">I've got it...well one. OK...so this happened about...12 years ago now? It was my first summer as a camp counselor(yes it's one of <i>those</i> stories) and a little nervous about meeting new people. Well, the week started off well, we were a small group since it was the first year of camp and all the counselors got along pretty well, hanging out after the kids went to bed. Well, one night, everyone is hanging out in the dining hall and a couple of us are out on the patio, I don't really recall what we were talking about, but three of us outside were joking around, the next thing I know one of the female counselors comes up behind a male counselor and decides to pants him, in front of me...well...more than just his pants came down....pretty much everything came down, if you get my drift. I kind of stood there shocked for a moment, looking at both of them, her hand covering her mouth and him trying to grab his pants. We joke and laugh it off, she swear she didn't mean for that to happen and he jokes about the view and I swore up and down I didn't see anything because his shirt was long...or I just blacked out. Well, as if that wasn't enough, I returned to the dining hall with a mortified look on my face, everyone asking what happened. The story got around camp and for the rest of the week I got asked if I saw Wei's Wang (his last name was Wei- sorry if you happen to read this dude). Yep. That was mortifying I have to admit.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center><a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html"><img border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m553/jennilu07/May200x200_zpsf8349f10.png" /></a></center>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-23758650512282627632013-05-10T01:26:00.001-07:002013-05-10T01:28:00.056-07:00Blog Every Day in May: Day 8A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all. <br /><br />I feel as though, for the most part, a lot of these blog every day prompts have been me giving advice somehow. Nonetheless, I suppose if there is one piece of advice(amongst many) I could give is this, Life goes on. Yep, that's it, it's that simple. We can choose to be a part of it or we can sit and dwell on the should have, could have, would have's or the I don't have, or the I want's or the I need's, but the truth it, life goes on, with or without them, with or without you. So why not make yourself a part of it instead of sitting and waiting for everything to be "perfect" before you start, because the truth it, it may never be the right time or place or person, it may not be what you consider the perfect moment, but that moment could lead you down the path you never expected, down one that changes your life forever. Try everything you get the opportunity to try because you never know what it might bring you. Don't be upset you lost the game, or &nbsp;you broke up with your significant other because it all comes together to make you who you are and if we keep going and keep trying at life that's what matters. The journey is often more important than the destination.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html"><img border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m553/jennilu07/May200x200_zpsf8349f10.png" /></a></center>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-14669338587454745672013-05-07T23:58:00.002-07:002013-05-08T01:56:34.044-07:00Blog Every Day in May: Day 7<center style="text-align: left;">The thing(s) you are most afraid of.</center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center style="text-align: left;">I learned a long time ago fear is not worth it. Sure I can say I am afraid of spiders, or creepy crawly bugs, big dogs that jump out at you or strangers passing me on the street. But those aren't fears, not real fears. If those are the only things you fear, I would say you are doing pretty good for yourself. It's ok to jump when you see a daddy long legs in your shower, or when a dog jumps at you on its leash. But the real fears, the ones people don't want to talk about, the hards ones like being alone, failing, death, those are the fears to squash out, those are the ones that we have to remember not to listen to. I've lost a lot of people in my life, I've been through a lot of things that could have caused me to be lost, but I'm not. I guess my point it, there is no use being afraid of things you can't control. Use that time instead to enjoy your life. Don't have a SO? Enjoy doing all the things you can do while you are just you. Fail at something? Remember just trying is a great achievement. And death, death is just part of life, don't fear it because it is something you cannot control. Just live life every day and at the end you will have no regrets. If there was one thing I feared in life is leaving my parents too soon, but I'm not afraid for myself but for them. Damn how this blog post get so serious? haha.</center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center style="text-align: left;">What are YOU afraid of?</center><center></center><center><a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html"><img border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m553/jennilu07/May200x200_zpsf8349f10.png" /></a></center>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-5815649829361689002013-05-07T23:17:00.005-07:002013-05-08T01:56:53.722-07:00Blog Every Day in May: Day 6If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer, what do you do? <br /><br />I create.<br />I dream.<br />I inspire.<br />I teach.<br />I listen.<br />I share.<br />I dance.<br />I sing.<br />I enjoy.<br />I hurt.<br />I learn.<br />I hope.<br />I inquire.<br />I love.<br />I laugh.<br />I cry.<br />I help.<br />I am human.<br /><br />I live life on my own terms and hope for the best because that is all anyone can do.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/blog-every-day-in-may-challenge.html"><img border="0" src="http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m553/jennilu07/May200x200_zpsf8349f10.png" /></a></center>All Kinds of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12514247092063949867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8022369557836944293.post-27646891115777741012013-05-07T23:01:00.002-07:002013-05-07T23:01:45.325-07:00GIVEAWAY!!So I wanted to do a little giveaway now that I am starting to post more on my blog and I would love even MORE people to check it out.

Not attractive. I really wanted to wear makeup too! I managed about three days, two with pretty simple looks and finally by the weekend it cooled off and allowed me a little bit of fun. And to top it off this week all around was kind of a bummer, some negative family stuff and personal things came up. When that happens I usually make myself feel better by doing what I do best...BUYING ALL THE MAKEUP!! But I did my best to control myself. I did want to take advantage of Victorian Disco Cosmetics 35% off sale, probably the last big one she has before she goes on vacation. I picked up a couple mini jars, so with the discount I only ended up spending $13.24. Plus MAC came out with their Art of Eyes collection(or something, haha) and I had really wanted to check out their fluidliner brow gel back when it first launched, so I picked that up this week too. I think that's about it, I managed to control myself pretty well. OK...on the makeup front, haha, I did go out and splure on a massive amount of comics during Free Comic Book Day. Went in to get two free comics, came out with about 15 others, haha! Oh well. I tried. ;-)<br /><br /><b>Purchase Total: 13.24+17.44= $30.68</b><br /><br /><br /><b>Money in Makeup Bank before purchases: $61.18</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Money after purchases: $31.50</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Week 10 Goals</b><br /><b><br /></b><b>Goal 1:</b> Do one contest look, one face of the day and one review. *FAILED*<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>I did one review and one look but not a contest look. Every time I tried putting on&nbsp;makeup it melted off.
